The Cuestas.PPQ attorneys who handle civil and commercial litigation have extensive training and professional experience in the area. Our litigation teams focus primarily on law suits that involve Guatemalan or foreign corporations, or both and that raise civil or commercial law issues, including:

• business organizations;

• contract law;

• insurance and bonds; and

• real estate law;

Our litigators have broad experience in litigating disputes before national courts, including courts of first instance, second instance and Guatemala’s Supreme Court of Justice.

In each matter that our litigation teams handle, they carry out extensive study and analysis in framing the client’s case and determining any legal action or defense that the applicable statute may afford the client. We are committed to working closely with each client and to keep the client properly informed throughout each stage in the process until the final conclusion.

As a firm, we are also committed to advising our clients on measures to avoid litigation. Accordingly, our litigation experts are available to clients and colleagues to assist in advising on certain aspects of our transactional work.

Before agreeing to represent a potential client in a particular dispute with a private or public sector counterpart, we carry out a firm-wide conflicts search to ascertain that our representing the client would not constitute a conflict of interest.
